We’re livin’ in a po-mo,
Fast paced,
Nihilistic,
Rat race,
Kinda world.

And it just keeps spinning.

Dinged and dizzy,
In your face,
Spiritualistic,
Cyber space,
Its where we’re livin.

Occult, and wicca, atheism,
No fear style
Never smile.
‘Cause you’ve never known hope

And theres something there outside of you
Conviction stings you through and through
And I respect the strength you’re holdin,
But come on, and stand,
And take a hand.

There really is truth apart from your existence.
And the dark of heart your feeling
Can be breeched without obscurity.
Accept Love and not infirmity.

(just doing some studies on all going on around me, sort of a different write style, not good for sure, but thats ok. For those who don't know, Po-mo means Post Modernism.)

- And so it was that time stood still -
(blink, breathe, stand, fight)

GG - I loved this! Especially here:

There really is truth apart from your existence.
And the dark of heart your feeling
Can be breeched without obscurity.
Accept Love and not infirmity.

We all seem to hide within ourselves sometime xxoo

littlewing,
thanks! Always love seeing what lines people enjoy. You're right, we do seem to hide in ourselves, alot.
This poem I guess seems like it may come across harshly, but it is meant with the deepest compassion, respect... and truth.

Always, Alyssa

Alyssa,

Glad to see you trying various writing styles. You are talented enough to do it well. Of content, well, you could not possibly hurt someone's feelings.

The true dark of heart do not think negatively regarding the convictions of their choice, but, all roads do lead to God, eventually.

Hugs for an interesting viewpoint.

Pat,
thank you. Yesterday I was at an 8 hour seminar regarding world views, (ie atheism, spiritualism, theism..) it was interesting and achingly fascinating. I believe though that the dark of heart, will feel convictions, because that 'still small voice' is there and speaking. And.. sure we'll all someday know the truth about God, but not all roads lead to heaven. I pray and lend my hand for some to know before they sit at the seat to be judged and realize they're still accountable.
Anyway, back to my art assignment.
Thanks again for replying

Hugs.

Always, Alyssa
